Software Development Team Manager

Fasthosts and IONOS are building the next‑generation of Hosting & Mail products from the ground up and need a Development Team Leader who can inspire an experienced software engineering team, raise the bar on architecture and delivery, and help us ship products that will become the new standard for hosting and email services across Europe and beyond.

If you enjoy leading people, solving technical problems and improving how teams deliver software, this role could be a strong match.

You’ll manage a cross‑functional team of Developers and Architect specialists working across a range of products and projects to bring our new products to market and iterate over on‑going enhancement. No two days are the same, and you’ll see your team’s work directly contribute to business success.

Your team owns what it builds, so you’ll be involved in everything from planning and delivery through to support and ongoing improvements. You’ll also work closely with Product to turn ideas into clear, actionable work, keep agile practices running effectively, and support our move towards modern architectures.

• Strong background in software engineering, with the ability to recognise great code and drive technical quality in your team
• Strong awareness of secure coding practices and security considerations for web‑facing systems
• Hands‑on experience with agile delivery processes to keep work moving smoothly
